Clove Bud
syzygium aromaticum {10ml}
Product Summary
Clove Bud is used extensively worldwide as a spice, and can readily be found commercially in products for health, agricultural, and cosmetic uses.*
In Chinese Medicine, Clove Bud has been used for centuries as a treatment for skin infections, digestive upsets, intestinal parasites, diarrhea, bad breath, bronchitis, and a myriad of other conditions and complaints.*
Clove Bud has an impressive range of action against pathogens and illnesses of all kinds. Many of the plagues that scourged Europe were started by fleas carried by rats that came ashore from ships bringing spices from the East. So while cloves have a share in the responsibility for plagues, with poetic justice, they were also used as a prophylactic against bubonic plague. Sponges impregnated with extract of cloves were often held beneath the noses of plague victims.*
Clove Bud is well known for its pain-relieving abilities, and can be used for toothache, mouth ulcers, and other oral health issues. Gargling with Clove Bud in water can assist in relieving bad breath.*
Clove Bud is also a remarkable uterine tonic; it helps tone the uterine muscles and thus prepares the mother for an easy birth physically, but also psychically since it can lessen anxiety about the delivery.*
